Allowing Non-Component Callers

You can allow non-Java-EE components, such as servlet filters,
lifecycle modules, and third party persistence managers, to use this
JDBC connection pool. The returned connection is automatically enlisted
with the transaction context obtained from the transaction manager.
Standard Java EE components can also use such pools. Connections obtained
by non-component callers are not automatically closed at the end of
a transaction by the container. They must be explicitly closed by
the caller.

You can enable non-component callers in the following ways:

Check
the Allow Non Component Callers box on the Edit Connection Pool Advanced
Attributes page in the Administration Console. The default
is false. For more information, click the Help
button in the Administration Console.
